I don’t have a dog in the fight but I can see why some parents are upset, and they have every right to file a lawsuit. Good for them!

Just let this play out. Dont know why yall are so bothered all the time.

I think many of us are bothered that these people keep crying about mismanagement of money and then do crap like this that forces MCPS to further waste money. What's worse is that they KNOW this is a loser of a case and just intend to drag it out and force the county to spend more. It makes them look terribly selfish and furthers the belief that they don't give a rat's ass about any kids except their own who, not for nothing, aren't actually being harmed.

MCPS attorneys are paid yearly salary, how does this waste taxpayers money? These attorneys are paid regardless

MCPS attorneys are not the ones who usually take these cases. MCPS contracts with expensive litigators for this rubbish. The lawyers employed by MCPS are mostly for matters pertaining to personnel issues and frequently, low level, internal special education issues. Notably, the MCPS legal team was also used during the last year to ensure that they were following boundary study process according to the law. Therefore, these parents are forcing MCPS to waste money hiring outside counsel to prove that their internal lawyers did their work in accordance with the law. This is why people hate Wootton right now. Stop crying financial mismanagement when you are compounding it.

If it’s meritless why hire an outside firm?

They have to. Otherwise it is the same attorneys who did the work defending their own work.

Why is this a problem? There’s no actually law preventing them from defending their own work. You’d think if it was good work, they’d want to defend it?

Everyone should just move on. I am tired of lawsuits like this one that prevent anyone from moving forward. The Wootton building is in terrible shape and we have no money to fix it.

I would really like my kid to get to experience a new school with new equipment and give the teachers a chance to teach in that sort of environment. I think it will do a lot of good for everyone.

I fear that the lawsuit will just kick the can down the road and waste energy, resources and in the interim, Crown will sit vacant.

Are you suggesting that it's easy for an entity that is 'in the right' to win a lawsuit without adequate representation? If you were sued and knew yourself to be in the right, would serve as your own counsel?

O so your saying MCPS attorneys aren’t considered adequate representation? Cuz they are idiots? In which case, we agree on something!

How about we all take a break and reconvene when there IS an actual lawsuit (highly doubt there will be one). It is all hot air so far.

I don’t think most of the people behind this have kids impacted in the next few years. One ringleader has toddlers.

This. I don't understand why people can't just move forward. Schools don't last forever and need to be replaced.

They are planning to renovate the school in order to use it as a holding school. What do you mean we have no money to fix it? We only have money to build schools that are not needed? Miss me with that.

They aren’t doing real renovations. From what the parents say with the mold, the only true way to fix it is tear it down. Why would you want your kids in a mold infested school?

Yawn. Please stop talking if you have no idea what you are talking about.

So you're saying they lost their status already?

https://onestop.md.gov/list_views/62f3e1797f7e3200016a3dab

What’s the name?

CEPA — Community and Education Policy Alliance

They never had charity status to begin with, they are still in the application phase.

They aren’t doing real shady to take donations, no transparency without legal status.
